really surprised it didn't do that for a single day for 3 days straight in japan

So sad. Back in PS2 era major title like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, sold no less than 1.7 million copies in their first week.

an era without shooters online 👌

I don't think you read properly, this is digital copies only.

Hey. You're right. I didn't read it properly. But that doesn't change the fact. FFXV sold 690k units in it's first week. While PS2's FFX sold no less than 1.7m on it's first week.

While DQ11 has better performance at 2m (PS4 + Switch combined), DQVIII on PS2 sold 1.8m on it's first week. I am sure the Japanese bought those 2 versions of DQ11 since they have different presentations.

you do realize that they are only counting half the cake by only listing the digital sales. (and this only fir japan).
in these days omitting either digital sales or physical sales in an info blogpost is like a zero-info but wanting clickrevenue for it.

That’s just digital . I wonder how many of those were on Xb1 . 0-5 ?

Bring it to Switch next

[SegaGamer]

If they do, then I expect it will be a long wait. It would be like Dragon Quest 11, it would need a lot of work to get it to work on the Switch.

you'd be surprised. Unreal Engine literally has a preset that will optimize projects to run with the Switch. UE4 is fully supported on the Switch. Just might need to lock it at 720/30fps.
